I want more books about dirtbag trans guys. Trans guys who just kinda suck. Trans guys who’re kinda evil. Trans guys who like flirt with everyone under the sun. Trans guys who let the dishes pile up or don’t do the laundry because who can be bothered. Trans guys you do not want to spend time around. Trans guys having the worst day ever. Trans guys who straight up kill transphobes. Trans guys who are punk and edgy and revel in their masculinity. Trans guys that would make your mother puke over him ruining his ‘beautiful female body’. GIVE ME TRANS GUYS DAMNIT

the thing people dont get about blue sargant is that she's a feminist because. well. its obvious. she's a girl. sexism is stupid. and feminism is like. necessary or what not. she doesnt feel any particular which way about it. she's a feminist just because.

ON THE OTHER HAND, what we should be having blue be more insane about is environmentalism. she's writing dissertations. she's yapping gansey's ears off about the importance of swamp ecosystems. she disappears for months and the next time you see her you learn that apparently she has single handedly brought a species back from extinction. she's helping clean up the beaches of ghana. she's on the front lines protesting fast fashion companies. she's been in jail for ecoterrorism multiple times. let her be insane little environmentalist tree that she is godsdamnit.

TPODG is already a great book but it becomes infinitely more interesting when you read it as a treatise on the continuing cycles of abuse, grooming and victimisation rather than a condemnation of a life solely dedicated to hedonism. I would go so far as to argue that given wilde’s lived experience the message of how bad a life of reckless abandon is is secondary to the underlying theme of how Dorian was a victim of intended sexual abuse and how he perpetuated that cycle through his treatment of Sybil Vane. In fact I don’t even think Dorian was Like That because he pursued pleasure with no care for how it affected others but rather as a form of self harm and self medication. Why am I still thinking about him it has been 2 years since i read the book.

Look. Not to make light of this novel. But crane is genuinely one of the funniest protags I’ve had the honour of being inside the head of. Like, im laughing my tits off in the middle of the horrifying scenes because the way crane narrates is just so funny to me.

Specifically, basil is attracted to twinks who are majorly younger than him and Henry is attracted to basil but unfortunately is not a twink who is majorly younger than basil which leads to the problem of basil being insanely attracted to Dorian, but only a specific artistic ideal of Dorian and not Dorian gray the person, leading Henry to be incredibly jealous of Dorian and using him against basil by corrupting him and bursting this bubble basil has regarding Dorian and neither of them actually care about Dorian as a person and who he is outside of their obsessive toxic relationship with each other. In this essay I will -
